We wrapped up another year of the @crrscholarship Program last weekend with our annual NYC summit. And it was full of magic and joy and love and growth! ✨🙏🏾

As our community continues to grow, we are proud of the space that we have created, the work that is being done and of course our scholars who inspire us to dig deeper and keep going. Our scholars continue to prove that they can open doors for themselves while also leading with kindness and integrity and being agents of change in the theatre world. We are so proud of them.

Thank you to everyone who poured into these students over the semester and to everyone who continues to support our program. The work is not easy, but we are thrilled to be doing it. Thank you.

And congrats to this year’s scholars! @andres.agustin04 @v_alz0 @anicaacuna @httpkaitlyn.dorsey @dariusevans_ @106ndparker @sary.rebeca @cianonjones @allegedlygavin @mariaha.ray 👏🏾

Information on the next cycle will be available in the Fall.

What a blessing it was to stand by my bestie’s side for his twenty fifth Broadway Opening.
@codyrenard, doing life with you is an honour and full of joy. I love you deeply. Words fail me. I have your back (and lace front) forever and ever 🩵

If you’ve been looking for me the past 10 months… I’ve been caught somewhere between reality and the music of the night. 🥀

Family.
Words cannot describe how much I love my girls. My nieces. My babies. How lucky am I that my cousin had the nerve to birth my bestie.

I think she would be so happy to see how close we are and so proud of what an amazing mother her daughter is. I know am!!!

No matter where I go and what I do, these two are my whole heart walking around in the world. I love you, sarajoseph123

Another year around the sun. Wow.
Some lessons in no particular order from this year.:
- Take your probiotics daily.
- I’d rather be respected than liked. Because honestly, if they like you for the version of you tailored to them… do they even like you?
- leave the house with snacks. A lite cheese stick has saved a life more than once
- the state of the world is shit, but the state of hip hop (and art in general) is not. Wow. Can we call it a renaissance if never went anywhere?
- drink more water.
- You can always start over. It will never be easy… but you’re not… lost.
- Love is scary. Do it. Scary things can be fun.
- You’re allowed to teach people how you want to be communicated with
- You don’t have to birth a child to be a mother.
- Being an auntie is the absolute best thing ever.
- Flowers make a house feel like a home
- Running… on a treadmill… in increments… doesn’t totally suck
- The worst feeling of abandonment is when you abandon yourself. Always come back to you… it will heal you
- I deserve it all ❤️

Last night, as I stood watching this beautiful display of fireworks, listening to one of my favourite artists, within arms reach of loved ones- I couldn’t help but think about the people for whom a big boom in the sky doesn’t correlate to beauty or “freedom”. The folks who hear a big boom and know doom is imminent. The people who aren’t able to listen to the new Beyonce or hug their loved ones. The people who wake up every day and despite their lack of food, water, landmarks, family members somehow choose joy. Joy in the darkest moments.
America, America has a problem.
While I’m so happy and blessed to be able to spend time with the people I love on a Thursday in July… I’ll never stop thinking about or fighting for those for whom a big boom in the sky does not mean a firework, but instead a strike on their humanity.

We will never be free until we are all free.

Happy First Friday in July ❤️‍🩹 by @zingzinga

Pride • 2024 💙💜🩷
Someone asked me what pride means to me, I answered:
Pride (to me) is the absence of shame.
It is freedom, love, being seen and known.
Pride is mine.
Pride is a protest.
Pride is year round.

Deep belly laughs, cooking for my friends, double Dutch, singing (oh the singing), impromptu cyphers, chart readings, plenty music, lots of dancing and an abundance of LOVE. 💕

Somehow we were both child like and fully the Aunties/Uncles.

So thankful for my people xx by @zingzinga

Continued…

I learned it’s not about eating perfect but instead about eating balanced.
I learned that one day or week (or even month) cannot undo me. That progress is not linear and some days are just no good rotten days. And that’s okay. You get back up. You’ve statistically survived every other workout you’ve done.
My fitness journey has taught me so much. It was never about a number on a scale. Still isn’t. But rather about life. The lessons I have learned that have helped me navigate life better.

My brain fog isn’t gone but working out every day, drinking lots of water, taking my supplements, sleeping and eating regularly have all helped. My blood oxygen level is 100 for the first time since having Covid.

My commitment to my body has taught me discipline in committing to the things that make me feel good. Puzzles, crossword, legos, painting - all have helped with brain fog. And I’ve learned to make time for them, like I would a work out class or work.

This journey isn’t about how much I can lift or how many burpees I can do but instead it is about celebrating the little wins and taking back my life.
I’m better at my job. I’m a better friend. I’m a better dog mum. I’m a better family member… all because I have invested in being a better to me.

Boundless thanks to everyone who’s been a part of this journey in one way or another. my coaches who have been so kind but also kicked my 🍑 - Lisa, ting, Chad, Viper, Sam and my MFF fam. MVP on this journey has been my sis/wifey Kamra. My bestie with the juicy booty. I don’t have words for what you’ve meant to me and what your support has done.

It’s a journey and I have dark times. But I’m ultimately so proud of myself. I’m so grateful for being able to move my body and nourish myself emotionally and physically.

I will NEVER ever give up on myself again. And that’s the real “gains” 💪🏾

PS. when you see me showing off this thang on the internet (or irl this summer)… know I worked hard for these cakes bb ❤️ forged in fire 🔥 by @zingzinga
